A medical researcher and a medical journalist provide a detailed encyclopedic description of the discovery, history of research, and myriad potential uses of the biochemical compound coenzyme Q10. The compound was identified in 1957 as an integral part of cell physiology, and in the past several years its status and importance in medical science have greatly expanded. Research is ongoing regarding its use in counteracting heart disease, lowering blood pressure, bolstering the immune system, and fighting cancer. The authors' writing is clear and understandable, though at times dry and exhortative. However, they provide the latest technical/research information, references, and information on the compound's dietary forms and availability. Recommended for medical libraries and large public libraries. Mark L. Dembert, M.D., Navy Environmental Health Center, Norfolk, Va.
